The 2019 Summer Event Guide is dedicated in memory of our dear friend Robert “Scat” Scatterday. Four years ago, Scat brought us his idea of combining summertime community concert schedules into a single publication. So, we teamed up with Scat and our friends at Wheelhouse Creative to distribute 50,000 free Ohio Valley Summer Event Guides up and down the Ohio River.

The guide has helped breathe new life into smaller community events and is the primary reference point for summer happenings in Wheeling, Weirton and Steubenville. Scat saw a way to bring Ohio Valley communities together, and he made it happen, as he has done so many times for so many worthwhile causes. Rest In Peace, Scat, and thank you for making a difference.
